This. Excellent post. Couldn't have said it better.

Be honest.

Nope. I usually just laugh at them, or say something like "Come on, man" or "Dude, who are you fooling?" More often than not they smile back, as if to say, "Ok, you got me." It lightens the mood while making the point. I don't often see that same player flop again.
If I had a situation like the one Rich described, however (i.e. egregious second-time offender), I'd probably whack him, too.
